[QUOTE=BBS1951;67037]The past few days have had swallowing issues. It's creepy and unnerving. Called neuro today and he ordering a modified barium swallow and a speech and language swallowing evaluation,

I waited until 4:30 to hear from the rehab center. Finally I called them, but they left for the day. GEESH.i hope I don't end up in the hospital waiting.

Hi,
Spasms in my esophagus is a symptom I developed several years ago. It now comes and goes like other MS symptoms. I had the tests you mentioned.

Because I could not swallow for quite a while I lost a lot of weight which I have managed to keep off.

Hang in there. I hope the swallowing problems go away soon!

Be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the floor each morning the devil says:"Oh Crap, She's up!"

I'm so sorry that you're having difficulty swallowing. I hope that it will subside as Linda's has.

Are you taking CBD oil again? I seem to recall that it was helping with your spasms, so perhaps it would benefit you now.

Hoping that you can get through to the rehab center tomorrow and that you don't have to go to ER.

Healing energy on the way ~

Love & Light,

Rose
